Smell of freshness in the air
Of grass and flowers blooming everywhere
Oh, Lord, it’s spring
But I just don’t care
It only
You know it only makes me cry
Knowing that our love is gone
Oh god it makes me want to die

Sunshine, Sunshine
Where’s heaven?
Sunshine, tell me Sunshine
Where’s heaven?

I know that what you’ve lost brings you pain
But darling try
Try not to cry
Someday we’ll be together again
I know the Lord
I know the Lord must have his way
He blessed us twice with love
Then he took
Took one away

Sunshine, Sunshine
Where’s heaven?
Sunshine, tell me Sunshine
Where’s heaven?

Playgrounds and swings, the sandbox where she used to play
Remembering her castles, her play
Oh, Lord, she was my Sunshine, bless her
And her dirty little fingers mold
The fantasies she had that day
Oooh, the parts she played
That was my Sunshine

Sunshine, tell us
Where’s heaven?
Sunshine, tell us
Where’s heaven?
Sunshine, tell us
Where’s heaven?
Sunshine, tell us
Where’s heaven?
